I see a lot of talk about EVDR launching a new scooter in 2008 but nothing current...

Here is a good article about it...

Evader’s current model for Canada, the EV1000, has 45amp batteries, a 1000-watt motor with max. speed of 50km/h (30 mph) and a 65-70 km (40-mile) range. That makes it perfect for in-city commuting, especially in areas such as BC where we’re gifted with natural splendor and grandeur… that can be dammed up for hydro-electric power. Vehicles such as the EV1000 are not a perfect solution, but they are better than what we’re using currently for in-city commuting, and they are rapidly improving.

Evader is planning 2000-watt and 3500-watt variants for next spring and fall with speed expectations of 65 and 80 kph, and ranges of 80 and 100+ km respectively. A Vancouver company may soon be the source for new technology batteries that promise 30% better range. The future also points to hydrogen fuel cells. The EV1000 and its kin feature another perk to ownership; engine maintenance is about the same that you’d perform on a washing machine – which is to say for most people near none.

There is a grand irony to this that Evader, a group of gifted engineers who’ve run away from Boeing with their “possible military connections”, are using recently declassified torpedo motor control technology to power a form of cheap, clean, and one hopes, plentiful transit for the masses. A weapon of mass destruction, WMD, has become something far more important and far more problem solving - a WMT, Weapon of Mass Transit.
